Our Whole School Worship was led by Rev Ben this morning. We started with a quick game all about compassion which followed on from Rev Matt’s Worship the week before. Next, we finished the remainder of the Bible story : Joseph the Prisoner.
Joseph was his father's favorite son, given a colourful coat that made his brothers jealous. They sold him into slavery, but Joseph ended up in prison even though he was innocent. In prison, he interpreted the dreams of other prisoners and eventually Pharaoh's, predicting seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh made him the leader of Egypt, and Joseph stored food for the famine, saving many lives and eventually forgiving his brothers, showing that even bad things can be used for good.
We looked at how Joseph had a big dream, but his life wasn’t going well. He still used his gifts to help others. And through Joseph, God showed compassion to Egypt warning them of a famine.
As a school, we have showed lots of compassion for special events this week such as wearing odd socks to start Anti ~ Bullying Week.
Through discussion the children then highlighted how Joseph used his gifts to help others.
We also looked at how we can pay careful attention to the needs of others this week. What could we say, do or give? The children shared lots of wonderful ideas like caring and sharing, raising money through Children in Need and showing respect
We finished our Worship with a prayer and then out singing King of Me.
